IN the years to come, Shenzhen will take new opportunities in the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to build the city into a pinnacle of high-quality development, a model for the rule of law, an exemplary city with an advanced culture, a benchmark city for people’s well-being, and a pioneer in sustainable development.

The remarks were made by Shenzhen Mayor Chen Rugui at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office in Beijing on Thursday.

Guangdong Governor Ma Xingrui and mayors of Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou — three of China’s first four special economic zones — met the press on achievements in economic development the three cities in Guangdong have made in the past 40 years, as this year marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the special economic zones, de facto experimental areas to pilot reforms before their rollout nationwide.
